Reporting includes SaaS metrics, reports, dashboards and presentations; Starter includes MRR and ARR, while Growth includes 30+ automated SaaS metrics. The web product also lists approval workflows, an audit trail, multi-entity close and native ERP connectivity. ScaleXP is paid, with plans from £100/mo and a 7-day trial that requires no credit card. Starter is limited to up to 2 users and 200 invoices per month; additional subsidiaries cost extra by plan.

Stacks Financial Close coordinates finance close tasks, journals, and reconciliations through AI agents and a live calendar. The calendar tracks owners, dependencies, deadlines, and status across the team. Teams can import an existing calendar, assign owners, link policies, and carry workflow improvements into later periods. Tasks can retain a preparer, reviewer, supporting evidence, and linked policy for reuse. The workflow enforces role separation and approvals, with journals staged for review before posting to the general ledger. Timestamped records cover tasks, approvals, supporting documents, reconciliations, working papers, and journals. Listed ERP connections include NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC, SAP S/4HANA, and Workday; other connections include spreadsheet, storage, data, and analytics services. The close management page describes read-only access, centralized controls, and no changes to ERP configuration. Stacks lists SOC II Type II, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR compliance, SOX-ready controls, and SAML-based single sign-on. It runs on the web. Pricing is on request; the site invites prospective customers to book a demo.
